-- 独立研究机构CFRA向发布了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师的观点总结如下:我们将12个月目标价下调8美元至196美元,市盈率为19倍(2026年每股收益预期不变),较其五年平均预期市盈率23倍有所折让,这反映了地缘政治风险。我们将2026年每股收益预期从10.74美元下调至10.33美元,并将2027年每股收益预期从12.07美元下调至11.58美元,主要原因是中东冲突导致总预订量增长放缓。鉴于公司长期的竞争优势和暂时的地缘政治不利因素,我们维持“买入”评级,因为该股目前被低估。公司的“互联旅行”平台和“天才”忠诚度计划正在支持利润率更高的直接预订,这表明人工智能举措正在加强消费者参与度,而不是削弱平台的中介作用。强劲的自由现金流为未来的股东回报提供了支持,其中包括第一季度36亿美元的股票回购。尽管中东冲突将影响第二季度的预订量,但BKNG以往的经验表明,在经历地缘政治或经济动荡后,旅游业往往会反弹。美国第一季度的客房夜数增长加速至10%左右,为短期增长提供了动力。
